DCR Information Session
Thursday, October 27, 2022 • 1–3 pm
Zoom Event
Join us for a conversation with Darryl M. Glover, of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), who will explain DCR’s cost-share programs. These programs are administered through local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD). The goal is to improve water quality in our streams, rivers, and the nearby Chesapeake Bay. The cost-share programs support various practices in conservation planning to treat cropland, pastureland, hay land, and forested land. As an incentive, cost-share assistance is offered to implement Best Management Practices. Participation in the programs is voluntary, and the Conservation Districts offer their expertise at no cost. Funding is based on what each District has available and how your small- scale farm ranks compared to the other applications they receive. Funding is not guaranteed.
